[News] A Giant South Korean Game Company Appears at Tokyo Game Show... Focusing on Subculture Games...

Has a major corporation, which has been relentlessly draining South Korean gamers' money with Lineage-like games, actually changed!? Is that really true? They just switched from Lineage-likes to subculture games... and only for a limited time in Japan... aiming for a niche in the subculture market.. In China, true otaku have deeply penetrated the subculture market and hold a strong position... I wonder if a Korean game company can really snatch that spot.. I don't know what kind of poison these game companies, notorious for their wicked BM structures, will unleash on the subculture game market... but honestly, if they just nail the characters and story, maybe it won't be a problem.. I recently played Zenless Zone Zero... savoring the story... but I thought, what is this... is this the best they can do? Then I heard people saying the story was messed up, and I realized... I wasn't the only one who felt that way.. I hope Korean game companies can really dig into these aspects and make good subculture games, even if it's just story-focused ones, regardless of the BM... Instead of continuing to make Lineage-like games and getting criticized, I wish they would change a bit...

I think Korea needs to change its perception of "games = disease" before anything can really happen. (Although, looking at the chat windows of Lineage-like games or some competitive games, it does feel like they might be diseases...)

A compelling story and an honest business model are the foundation for building gamer trust. I truly hope Korean game companies show substantial changes, hmm!

I really wish they'd put aside the monetization and make a game that really focuses on characters and story... lol. I think it could be competitive if done well, but it's always a bit disappointing...
